Before the afternoon arrived, Li Zhi took Heizi to the city at noon. Originally, he wanted to take Dong Xiaorou with him, but she didn't go. She said that as a woman, going out with Li Zhi and staying out all night would damage her reputation.
Li Zhi was at a loss. Even as an unmarried man, he didn't care. He thought, "You're a widow, what are you afraid of?" Well, he wasn't afraid, but she was afraid of herself.
He didn't insist strongly, as some things are not urgent. Didn't our ancestors tell us that haste makes waste?
For the sake of speed and convenience, Li Zhi directly approached a brokerage company to register a company. He named it "Xiaorou Food Factory" with a registered capital of fifty thousand, which was advanced by the brokerage.
Not to mention the change in Dong Xiaorou's expression upon hearing the name; even Heizi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Too rustic!
But Li Zhi didn't care. Although "Xiaorou Food Factory" was his first factory in life, it certainly wouldn't be his last.
The beginning is always challenging, and because of limited initial funds, he could only start on a small scale. The "Nebula i9 Intelligent Processing Factory" system in his mind wouldn't confine him to one industry or one factory for his entire life.
What he wanted to do now was to accumulate wealth and settle down. Once the funds were abundant, he would expand his reach.
Dong Xiaorou was the first woman Li Zhi encountered after "starting anew" in life. She was the first woman who made him feel impulsive and fond. So, he decided to name his first factory after her. Even if he couldn't have her in the future, it would still hold a commemorative significance.
In addition to the name "Xiaorou Food Factory," Li Zhi also registered the brands "Exquisite Feast" and "Happy Fish Balls."
As long as the money was in place, everything was negotiable. After completing the payment, the brokerage company asked Li Zhi to return in three days to collect the documents.
After resolving the identity issue of the factory, Li Zhi took Heizi to the car dealership.
…
"Sir, this limited edition Porsche is one of only 99 in the world, and in the northern market, there are just nine available." "This is the only one in the entire Haicheng…" The sales consultant, a young and beautiful woman, looked at Li Zhi with fiery eyes as she introduced the car.
Li Zhi nodded and discussed the car's details with the beautiful saleswoman. He even sat in the car to feel it, bantering with her for at least an hour.
After getting out of the car, he asked, "Do you have pickup trucks?"
The beautiful saleswoman was taken aback, unable to keep up with his train of thought. She quickly smiled and said, "Yes, we have Ford's Raptor series and Toyota's…"
Li Zhi frowned and interrupted her, "Why are there only foreign brands?" I'm more patriotic. "Do you have any domestic brands?"
Heizi couldn't help but smile behind Li Zhi, but quickly concealed it. Although he didn't understand why his older sister insisted on following this young man, he vaguely felt that he was someone important, perhaps not now, but maybe in the future.
When the saleswoman heard that Li Zhi wanted a domestic pickup truck, her fiery gaze disappeared, and so did her smile.
"We have the Great Wall pickup truck outside." "Go take a look yourself!" Ignoring Li Zhi, she turned and walked away in her high heels.
Another show-off and lunatic!
Li Zhi laughed and was not angry.
He directly bought a Great Wall pickup truck from the dealership, complete with insurance and license plates, for less than a cost-effective choice.
"Do you know how to drive?" Li Zhi asked Heizi.
Heizi nodded, "Yes, I learned to drive in the army and have a driver's license!"
Li Zhi smiled and threw the car keys to Heizi, "Drive the car back." Stay at the factory for the next two nights. "When I pay your salary later, the boss will give you a bonus!" He stretched and said, "I'll be enjoying myself in the city for two days!"
Heizi didn't say a word, took the car keys, and drove away in the newly bought pickup truck.
Efficient and without any delay.
Haicheng Suburban University City
By the time Li Zhi arrived, the sun had already set, leaving only a trace of twilight. Li Zhi was familiar with the university city, as he had spent three years studying there. He had visited all the places known for their reputation for dining, drinking, and entertainment.
Feeling a bit tired from the bus ride, he stretched his arms, took a deep breath, and then took out his phone. He found Mu Xiaomei's number and dialed it.
Mu Xiaomei had just finished class and was discussing where to have dinner with her friends as she walked back to the dormitory.
Her phone rang.
She stopped, took out her phone, and saw an unfamiliar number, but it was a local Haicheng number.
"Hello!"
Mu Xiaomei answered the call.
Li Zhi had stopped using his old phone number, so he discarded the old SIM card and got a new one. There were only a few contacts saved on his new phone, and Mu Xiaomei was one of them.
Mu Xiaomei could be considered Li Zhi's benefactor. Without her lending him one hundred thousand yuan, Li Zhi wouldn't have been able to start his factory.
Thinking back, Li Zhi felt that he had been quite ungrateful. He had hurt many people and had many acquaintances. However, when he fell on hard times, there was only one person who was willing to help him: a woman he had once treated as a "friend with benefits."
It could be said that a person truly understands the number of friends they have when they are in trouble.
"It's me." Do you have time tonight? "I'd like to invite you to dinner!" Li Zhi spoke after a moment of silence. After receiving some money, the first thing he wanted to do was repay Mu Xiaomei. He understood that the money was a significant amount for her, considering she came from a modest background.
He didn't like owing people!
However, Mu Xiaomei's kindness could not be repaid with just money.
Mu Xiaomei was taken aback and glanced at her good friend beside her.
"Sure, but you'll have to wait for me for a while." I just finished class and I'm on my way back to the dormitory to change clothes. Mu Xiaomei didn't refuse.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the cold drink shop across from the school gate." "Call me when you're coming out!" Li Zhi hung up after speaking.
"Xiaomei, whose call was that?"
Mu Xiaomei blushed and smiled, "A friend invited me to dinner tonight." "Sorry, I can't accompany you tonight!"
"Ah, a friend?" "Come on, be honest, is it a boyfriend?"
As they walked arm in arm, playfully teasing each other, the two of them headed towards the female dormitory.
In the dormitory, Mu Xiaomei began applying makeup before selecting an outfit and getting dressed. A woman always wants to present her best side to the person she likes.
Li Zhi waited patiently at the cold drink shop across from the school gate, not showing any signs of impatience. Today was different from before. In his heart, Mu Xiaomei was no longer just a "friend with benefits" with a pretty face and a good figure, but someone who had helped him in his time of need.
Li Zhi wasn't in a hurry, but Mu Xiaomei in the dormitory was extremely anxious. She was afraid that Li Zhi would get impatient waiting outside and become angry.
Li Zhi, in the past, had a bad temper and despised waiting for people!
